Eagles Eye View of Crater Lake Oregon

[OurAngryBadger]

10,350 ft. as recorded on the navigation screen seen on this video.

Is that above the tops of the mountains or the base? I'm just wondering. Cause the view in the video looks like what I might see with my drone at 400' but its also mostly flat here

Hi there. I have visited Crater Lake under these exact snowy conditions (before my drone days). One of my best trips ever. But, I am surprised to hear that you cannot fly a drone there. It is so open and unpopulated.

It is in a National Park, so the next best thing I could do was to tackle the project in a "Fixed Wing" aircraft. Besides, at 237 mph it got the job done a little faster than my Mavic 2 Pro would do.

We mostly flew at 10,000 ft. above SEA LEVEL. We did fly higher for a while, but the air was getting pretty thin up higher. We were not flying with oxygen on board. It was also getting pretty COLD in the cockpit at that elevation.

What altitude AGL were you flying at

Mostly above 10,000 ft. It was pretty cold in the cockpit!

is it a volcanic or a meteor strike

Volcano. Super deep lake filled in the caldera.

What altitude AGL were you flying at

10,000 ft. ASL and higher until we ran out of oxygen to breath. We were required to stay at least 1,000 above the National park.

I guess it is necessary due to people who do not respect anything or anyone. Then, laws come into effect to try to control these, to the detriment of people who do know how to behave. Ahhh, the so-called civilized world. Thanks for the info - will read.

We must respect nature when flying our drones. These noisy little devices may annoy some people who are trying to enjoy the scenery. That is quite understandable, so I try to fly sensitive places when other people are not close by. Example: Mid-week days when tourism is at a low volume, or maybe at 10,000 ft. elevation, (within the Law). Fortunately we have some really awesome camera technology these days so we do not have to be real intrusive in sensitive areas.

It is definitely a volcano.
